  1. Elon puts in an offer to buy ALL of Twitter. [LOCKED DUE TO POLITICS]

    ibtl ibtl is a (childish) internet acronym that means "in before the lock" and is akin to hands in wet cement. Basically, a way to say "I was here" before the thread got locked/deleted.
  2. Musk Tells Spain to Invest in Solar, Premier Invites Him Over

    I'm talking about day ahead and spot markets. This is the first journal article I found about Spain's overcapacity in the past. I'm confident I could find more. https://www.hindawi.com/journals/jen/2016/8510527/ (https://doi.org/10.1155/2016/8510527) Regarding the last couple of years, there...
  3. Musk Tells Spain to Invest in Solar, Premier Invites Him Over

    Musk is extremely successful but sometimes he's a righteous dufus. Spain has had solar overcapacity problems since the mid-2010's. It wasn't until recently that fractured power markets were more unified showing for brisket geographic sales. "Spain should" is the same as "build more so you'll...
  4. Teslas, Teslas everywhere

    I saw a Polestar awhile ago and had to look it up because I was naive. Then I saw a Genesis GV80, nice(!) looking ice car, had to look that up too. I keep seeing the Polestar around because it has this distinctive silver-grey that I've never seen on a car before. Teslas are everywhere here...
  5. Tesla recalls 800+k cars over seatbelt chime

    I'm sorry if I missed something. I looked back for boombox, audio, and/or other things and I didn't find anything. Was this a different thread? Am I missing something obvious? I responded without this "boombox" context [air quotes because I still don't know what we're talking about].
  6. Tesla recalls 800+k cars over seatbelt chime

    You appear to want your fun more than **even being told** about safety. I'm glad there's a National Transportation Safety Board, National Highway Transportation Administration and other assorted Nanny State/Fun Police. You know... things like " Save lives, prevent injuries, reduce...
  7. [Video] Finnish Man Passes on Paying $22,600 to Replace His Tesla's Battery, Blows Up Car Instead

    YouTube video is mid-article if you just want to scroll down and watch it Source: Gizmodo Finnish Man Passes on Paying $22,600 to Replace His Tesla's Battery, Blows Up Car Instead There are times in life when you have to choose between paying a boatload of money or watching a very big...
  8. tesla-suffers-nationwide-app-server-outage-owners-cant-connect-cars

    I was going on the "locked out of your car" theme as opposed to the "your phone does not work to unlock your car" theme as the original question came from someone whose nick is cybrtrk_maybe. I'll clarify the first post.
  9. tesla-suffers-nationwide-app-server-outage-owners-cant-connect-cars

    Yes, there is a key card for this very purpose [edit for clarity] people who are unable to get into their car with their phone. I don't carry anything but my phone (no cash, no keys, no key card, nothing else) so I would have been screwed [edit for clarity] had this actually affected the phone...
  10. Rumors Growing Over Something Coming on 12/9 (Elon/ Numerology/ Split Rumor)

    All this talk of a Tesla Phone model P or model Pi has reached fever pitch. Because none of the dozens of articles have any evidence, I won't link them. It turns out that a designer who previously worked for Apple released concept phone artwork and that was enough proof for the internet. It's...
  11. Elon's plan to sell 10% of his shares in Tesla...

    Within 2 days of the transaction, so not even a forewarning, the individual needs to file a form 4 with the SEC. For example, Elon's brother sold $115 Million in stock prior to Elon's twitter poll. You can check out all the reports on EDGAR on the SEC website...
  12. Elon's plan to sell 10% of his shares in Tesla...

    I thought that officers of a corporation had to announce these things to the SEC way in advance. TIL: they only need to announce within 2 days of the transaction.
  13. OMG! They know!

    I've read article after article saying the robot revolution is coming! The robots are coming! The original AI conference was in 1956 where they thought the problems of artificial intelligence would be solved within a couple of years. 50 years later, Boston Dynamics has a robot that doesn't tip...
  14. Rivian IPO

    I should get in on this for no other reason than people believe. They believe in Ford, in Amazon, and that EV is a growth market. I hate to say it but stonks >> EBITDA. The market is an 800 pound gorilla with too much RedBull.
  15. S-Curve EVA adoption video

    Oh FFS... @Crissa @ajdelange Yes, the technology adoption life cycle is an S-curve which is the integral, blah, blah, blah... That's not what I'm talking about. People are not rational buyers. If that was the case, then we'd all be buying the car that fit our needs. People buy cars based on...
  16. S-Curve EVA adoption video

    5 minutes to make his point, 15 minutes of the same thing. Nowhere in the 20 minutes does he address the chasm at 2:45 (sorry on mobile or I'd link it). Sure, solar, color TVs, and corn seed have a nice S-curve because it's a commodity that's remove and replace. Going from ICE to EV may seem...
  17. Joe sicked his dogs on Tesla [Deleted due to POLITICS]

    "Accidents with parked responders" means Tesla hitting a paramedic, law enforcement officer, firefighter or other such responder vehicles. This is the kind of investigation that is overall good. Tesla examines a specific edge case, NHTSA gets to do their job about something important, first...
  18. Tesla Giga Austin tunnel to downtown Austin, Austin-Bergstrom International Airport

    If there's a Sepulveda pass, then it would follow that it would be the Sepulveda Tunnel except there's already a Sepulveda Tunnel at the airport. What would it be called. The North Sepulveda Tunnel, The Elon Tunnel, The Boring Tunnel. I vote The Boring Tunnel because "because taking the Elon"...
  19. The auto industry is distancing itself from Tesla in response to new crash reporting rule

    But safe is boring and boring doesn't sell the news. Boring does however make long tubes in the ground. #see what I did there. In 10 years, the same type of story will be hyped, death news, hell, it might be because people drive their own cars. "We're all gonna die" somehow is news.
